The Director-General of the Ghana Education Service (GES), Prof. Kwasi Opoku Amankwah, has said his outfit is ready to contribute to a review of the Free Senior High School policy.
“Once education is not only for the GES and Ministry of Education, it will be played into the bigger discussion for all of us to make our contributions,” he said.
Prof Amankwah said the GES will start with the smaller parts of the policy and that there have been discussions on the unit cost analysis of education.
“We will do unit cost analysis, especially for the Free SHS,” he said on Joy News’ Upfront.
Prof Amankwah added that: “When we have done that, and we have all added our inputs into it, then we can all come back and say the total cost for educating someone in the free SHS,” is this or that.
He said this is necessary so that, “at the end of the day, we can all agree that this is the amount that we believe that government should bear.”
